Psalms 48
1 For the music director. A psalm of the sons of Korah. The Lord is supreme! He deserves praise in the city of our God on his holy mountain.
En Sang, en Psalme af Koras Børn.
2 Mount Zion is high and beautiful, bringing happiness to all the earth; on the northern side is the city of the great King.
Herren er stor og saare priselig, i vor Guds Stad, paa hans hellige Bjerg.
3 God himself is in the city's fortresses; he is recognized as its defender.
Zions Bjerg hæver sig smukt, er det ganske Lands Glæde, yderst imod Nord, den store Konges Stad.
4 Look at what happened when foreign kings joined forces and came to attack the city.
Gud i dens Paladser er kendt som en fast Borg.
5 As soon as they saw it they were astonished and ran away terrified.
Thi se, Kongerne havde samlet sig; de forsvandt til Hobe.
6 They shook all over, and were in agonizing pain like a woman giving birth,
De saa, straks forundrede de sig; de forfærdedes, de hastede bort.
7 just as the strong east wind wrecks the ships from Tarshish.
Bævelse betog dem der, Angest som en Kvindes, der føder.
8 Just as we had heard, but now we have seen the city of the Lord Almighty. This is the city of our God; he makes it secure forever. (Selah)
Ved Østenvejr sønderbryder du Tharsis's Skibe.
9 God, we recall your trustworthy love as we worship in the Temple.
Ligesom vi havde hørt, saaledes saa vi det i den Herre Zebaoths Stad, i vor Guds Stad; Gud befæster den indtil evig Tid. (Sela)
10 As is fitting for your reputation, God, praises to you stretch all around the world. What you do is always right!
O Gud! vi tænke paa din Miskundhed midt i dit Tempel.
11 Let the people of Mount Zion be glad; let the people of Judah celebrate because your judgments are always fair!
O Gud! som dit Navn er, saa er din Pris indtil Jordens Ender; din højre Haand er fuld af Retfærdighed.
12 Go and take a look at Zion. Count the towers as you walk around.
Zions Bjerg glæder sig, Judas Døtre fryde sig for dine Dommes Skyld.
13 Inspect the fortifications. Examine the citadels, so you can describe everything to the next generation, telling them:
Gaar omkring Zion, rundt omkring den, tæller dens Taarne!
14 “This is who our God is. He is our God forever and ever. He himself will lead us until the very end.”
Lægger Mærke til dens Mur, betragter nøje dens Paladser, at I kunne fortælle det for den Slægt, som kommer. Thi her er Gud, vor Gud, evindelig og altid, han skal ledsage os til evige Tider.
